Bug#206421: ITP: gaim-encryption -- Gaim plugin that provides transparent RSA encryption
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-20
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : gaim-encryption
Version : 2.06
Upstream Author : Bill Tompkins <obobo at users.sourceforge.net>

* License : GPL
Description : Gaim plugin that provides transparent RSA encryption
Features include:
.
* Automatically creates a public/private key pair for you upon loading the plugin
* Automatically transmits your public key to other users.
* Supports 512 - 4096 bit keys.
* Saves keys of known users, and warns you if their public key has changed.
* Embeds all encryption and keys inside HTML, so if the other user doesn't have the plugin, they will get a little message telling them about the plugin, and won't get a screen full of garbage.
* Stores keys in human readable files in your .gaim directory, in case you ever need to copy/edit them by hand. Which you really shouldn't have to do.
* Automatically recognizes if you are chatting with someone who has the plugin- see the Preferences dialog.
* Available for the Windows version of Gaim.
* Modular and extensible. If you want to define a different type of encryption, you can use this plugin as a wrapper to take care of transporting the encrypted binary over the IM pipe.
